Fermanagh 32 CSM Attend National POW March in Lurgan Co Armagh

Sunday 25th July saw the inaugural National POW protest which was organised by the Friends and families of the POWs.The invitation to march extended to all shades of Republicanism to take to the streets of Lurgan and show solidarity with the POWs in Maghaberry who are suffering abhorrent treatment at the hands of the British sectarian POA,their lackeys and their draconian regime.

The RUC in Derry passed the assembly point where local members of the 32csm had gathered to board their transport and went round several times mocking and gesticulating to the marchers in the hope of provoking a reaction.

When no reaction was forthcoming, the RUC then left and set up checkpoints outside the city.

The bus duly arrived at one of the checkpoints and the RUC ordered everyone off .As is their usual they attempted to goad members before settling on the tactic of refusing to allow them back on the Bus.They stated that one of the tyres was worn and refused to let the Bus continue forcing the marchers to walk the couple of miles back to the city.


The tactic failed though as hundreds of Republicans gathered in Lurgan to show solidarity with the Republican POWs whose courage,steadfastness and resolve in the face of continued and excessive barbarity by the British system acts as an inspiration to us all.

The RUC had set up in Lurgan and vigorously set to work on the cars and buses of marchers in an attempt to harass and intimidate Republicans from attending but their tactic failed miserably as the crowd swelled.


Lurgan itself was locked down with rows of RUC jeeps blocking the road in an attempt to halt the march but they were outflanked and outwitted by the contingency plans of the organisers who had in advance plotted alternate routes to cope with this type of eventuality and so continued to the rally point leaving the bewildered RUC looking on.

Speakers at the Rally point were Maura McCrory, formerly of the Relatives action committee & anti H Block committee, Paul Duffy (Brother of Colin Duffy ) and Gary Donnelly who read out the statement from the POWs.

Newtownbutler Protest against Loyalist March

End Loyalist invasions in Fermanagh

Come and Support the Nationalist residents of Newtownbutler in Co Fermanagh to end Loyalist invasions on friday 2nd of July.

End Sectarian Marches in our town

Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the ignorance and arrogance of the Parades Commission in permitting a Loyalist parade through the 98% Nationalist village of Newtownbutler- where it is not welcome. This Parade is scheduled for Friday 2nd of July at 8pm.

The Parades Commissions decision has angered the Nationalist residents of the village and salt rubbed into the wound with no restriction being placed upon this Loyalist march, while limits have been put on the Nationalist residents plan to hold a protest against this sectarian parade.

The people of Newtownbutler simply want to be left in peace and Loyalist marches re-routed away from our area.

Despite the huge social and political risks presented by contentious parades, Newtownbutler and other Nationalist communities are being subjected to unjust curfews for the duration of these anti-Catholic marches.

For too long the Republican and Nationalist community of Newtownbutler have had their human rights trampled on by the annual invasion of adrenalin-filled storm troopers intent on forcing sectarian parades through our district.

Given the widespread concern, apprehension and fears which are being expressed by many within our local community the Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement with the N.A.R.C (Newtownbutler Area Residents Committee) and other groups feel that we have no choice but to make the following intervention and call for the support of the wider Nationalist community to stand with us in solidarity and protest at this bigoted sectarian and coat trailing exercise by Loyalist marchers.

Reroute the flute! End Loyalist sectarian marches in Newtownbutler! Come join us in protest on Friday 2nd of July and let us send a united message from Newtownbutler that Loyalist triumphalist marches are not welcome in our town.

Fermanagh 32csm POW Protest

Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement are holding a protest in support of the Republican prisoners in Maghaberry gaol on Saturday 19th of June at 3pm Cornagrade road, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.

The demand is simple we want Political Status restored to the Republican POWs in Maghaberry gaol.

Our POWs are now being criminalised and brutalised by the very same system that the Blanket Men and Hunger Strikers fought against .Theirs is the same Demand.

We demand the immediate reinstatement of the humane and safe living conditions within the prison regime which were implemented following the tragic hunger strikes of 1981. We demand the immediate end to controlled movement which is being used by the screws to isolate and intimidate prisoners. We demand the immediate end of degrading and humiliating strip searches.
We demand the end of the free rein given to the POA in reversing the gains of 1981 and their determination to implement a regime based on brutality and sectarian bigotry.

The treatment of Republican Prisoners Of War and political prisoners alike in Maghaberry gaol is nothing short of disgusting and inhumane. The abusive treatment by Prison employees has escalated drastically in the past few weeks.

The media have been absolutely deafening in their silence about this torturous campaign waged against our incarcerated Republicans comrades. The only reporting of this issue is coming from the Republican groups supporting these men and from a few humanitarian organisations.

Maghaberry prison is a prison not fit for purpose the prison is a place of denial of liberty, it is not a sadistic toy to be utilised as a centre of brutality and psychological terrorisation where defenceless prisoners are subjected to the degradations of the hostage, as in Maghaberry today.

We will not stand by and allow this draconian regime to continue unchallenged in Maghaberry prison. These prisoners are human beings and as entitled to protections under human rights legislation as any of us. If the media are refusing to document and shame the system for its vile actions, it is up to us as Republicans to take to the street to protest, poster and challenge this regime, we owe our comrades that much.

We call on all Republicans to come and stand with us in solidarity with the POWs at this protest.They can ignore one of us, but they cannot ignore all of us.

Internment Of Tyrone Republican Condemned

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement in Fermanagh condemn in the strongest terms the arrest,charge, and internment of Tyrone Republican and EX POW Conor Casey from Cookstown.

To be an Irish Republican today with a belief in ending British rule in the six counties and restoring national sovereignty and re-unification is a crime in the eyes of Britain’s administration here.

To campaign politically in pursuit of these aims is so great a crime that you could find yourself effectively interned and spending a considerable number of years in prison as a result.

One has only to examine this case where Ex Republican POW Conor Casey was arrested and charged under new British terror laws for attending the funeral of his friend and comrade John Brady who died at the hands of the British PSNI/RUC.

Various similar cases which have been thrown out of court after several years, or to look at the length of time, in a number of cases, over two years, which individuals such as that of Belfast Republican and Ex POW Terry Mc Cafferty serves as a stark reminder to all of us.

And of course, that system of internment by remand is compounded by a judicial system which makes the conditions for securing bail extremely difficult.

Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement

Gardai Search farmland along Fermanagh/Monaghan border

Gardai/ERU Search farmland along Fermanagh/Monaghan border


The 32 County Sovereignty Movement condemns the Gardai and the ERU, Emergency Response Unit, for a recent search operation it carried out on farmland in the townland of Drumully on the Fermanagh/Monaghan border last week.


The owner of the land that was being searched contacted a member of the 32csm in Fermanagh to say that he confronted heavily armed men on his land last week who said they were from the Gardai.


The man, who does not wish to be named, is a local farmer, said that he was awakened in the early hours of the morning last week by his dogs barking. As the man went outside to check he saw a large amount of men with guns out on his land and in his outbuildings.


Shocked at these events that where unfolding before him the man then cautiously approached these armed men to see what they were doing on his land as he confronted them they stated that they were Gardai and produced badges of identification to the man and said that they were carrying out a routine search.


When asked by the farmer what they were searching for they said "it’s in relation to terrorist activity in the area".


The search went on for a number of hours and nothing was found.


There were no Garda vehicles present during the search. When the search was over unmarked vehicles with Southern registrations and blackened out windows removed the armed party from the scene and sped in the direction of Clones.


The 32csm in Fermanagh condemns this invasive and intimidating activity by the Gardai. We ask people who may notice suspicious activity or have been the focus of other unknown Gardai/ERU searches in the area to come forward to the 32csm in Fermanagh so as to expose this blatant harassment of vulnerable people.
